Top Highlights

“Some 1,500 years before Jesus of Nazareth burst onto history’s stage, a man named Moses—through whom God had given Israel the greatest revelation of Himself known to man—had written about a coming Prophet. Warning Israel against reliance on any occult source of information, Moses promised, ‘The Lord your God will raise up for you a Prophet like me’ (Deut. 18:15). Moses promised that this ultimate prophet would be ‘from your midst, from your brethren,’ and commanded: ‘Him you shall hear.’ Today we would phrase these last words a little differently. Moses was simply saying, ‘When He appears, listen to Him.’” (Page 1)

“Yet the essential point of the parable is that unlike the kingdom predicted by the prophets that is national in scope and character, the kingdom Jesus now inaugurates is essentially an individual kind of thing, entered by those individuals who welcome God’s Word and in whom that Word grows and produces crops.” (Page 65)

“‘a temptation is a difficult situation, a pressure that brings a reaction through which the character or commitment of the believer is demonstrated.’” (Page 15)

“John does not work within even a loose chronological framework. He does not shape his account to communicate Jesus to any cultural group. Rather, John reports seven miracles of Jesus and seven associated and lengthy discourses. While in Matthew Jesus is presented as the Messiah, in Mark as the practical man of action, and in Luke as the perfect man, John focuses our attention on Jesus as the Son of God. Yes, Jesus was a true human being who lived among us; but Jesus was also God the Son!” (Page 9)
